Freedom is easy to celebrate in theory and much harder to preserve in practice.

No Comments on my neurological double-tap

Two strokes left me stranded at the edge of the social world, trying to rebuild an adaptive, communicative interface that most others take for granted.

A country does not collapse when it disagrees; it collapses when disagreement becomes the structure that holds it together.

Power that cannot justify itself through competence often turns to conflict as proof of necessity.

We remain perfectly capable of making catastrophically short-sighted decisions all by ourselves. The technology simply amplifies the incentives we have already normalised.

Enduring systems do not survive by resisting change, but by metabolising its consequences into temporary coherence.

systems thinking

No Comments on systems thinking

A school can teach systems thinking and still fail to recognise the system it has become. The paradox is not educational but civilisational: systems routinely develop the capacity to analyse (and acknowledge) everything except the conditions that organise and sustain their own perception.

where meaning is not

Meaning is not hidden inside things. It emerges through the relationships, delays, absences, and consequences that allow anything to matter at all.

the value of nothing

The question is whether what we currently reward actually assists the capacity of civilisation to persist, adapt, repair itself, and create meaningful futures.

irony age

1 Comment on irony age

Every age reaches for old stories to explain new realities. The irony is that most stories survive not because (or even if) they are true, but because they are easy to transmit, to remember, to tell.
